    Cheers for that Slip :good

    This is the sad thing with boxing...there isn't much of a support system where fighters can lean on in hard times...they get left to own devices between fights etc. Also the Machismo of the sport doesn't help at times...fighters feel it sign of weakness to say whats going on. Not to say this is same with Darren but i really feel our warriors need more guidance on all fronts....so they can leave ring knowing there life's good and it was all worth it.

    I just got up and saw the news. I can only echo the statements that have been passed on by all the esb posters. This is truly tragic news and another sad day for boxing. I was a fan of the kid and was probably going to be a huge fan as I liked his style in and out the ring. I'm just stunned.

    RIP Darren

    Terrible shame. Someone mentioned that he'd hanged himself, if that is true then it is even more tragic.
